That was interesting Low,
Would you mind sharing how you went about obtaining those comparitive numbers above and below the pps.
Quite suprising to see that 2/3rds of the money is in above the present pps.
Thanks
I'me going with Rocky,
What it is...
The 'rules' are that the receipt of the 150Mill does not have to be reported (other than in the finacials -later) but..
The consequential (contractual/contra) release/payment of the 50 mill does.
So when you see the notification of payment of the 50 mill you will know that the 150 mill has been received.
I think thats 'fair dinkum' !
Wolfie ?
You know Rock Rocks !
So be prepared (as some have already prepared) for NO announcement /declaration until the 'Ides of February' .......
Rocky ride too ........
New Volakin,
I'll give you 24 hrs to declare your interest and position is here before I put you on ignore (again).
You have been asked time and again and frankly you are becoming once more the acne which just wont go away.
And your immaturity is telling.
You ought to appreciate that to most of us here this is not a big deal anymore.
We have either bought down or written MLXO off.
Its cat and mouse now.
Whose the Cat whose the mouse
And the tables are turning.
To us its just a part of the game.(twisted as it may have been by Cornell - The Rubber Band Theory sets in.)
To you it seems more.
I think we are just a little intrigued as to why.
Not a lot - just a little............
There now I suspect I have given you far more time and credit than you deserve.
Prove me wrong.
Careful with those 'codes' Deb.
I remember we once had a day of 'chatting 'with the MM's in those codes.
Very interesting (and yes it proved they did keep tabs on this board for sentiment (or amusement))
They are quite aware that they are known.
You need a 'live' board to glean any real intelligence from them.
Often it can be misleading. Quite simply when a buy or sell goes through for say 100 that is a genuine transaction.
This happens quite often of course.
The bottom line I guess is at that level of attention and awareness you either have to be constantly glued to the screen or be a Gordon Gecko.
In which case you own an MM !
Interesting to know but known to shorten the lifespan if you dont know 'the rest of the story' !
Us retailers dont. Cos we dont drink in El Vinos with them at the end of the day !
Most of the good guys around here spend a lot of time finding their own KISS principle that suits their trading style and temperment.
Midi I know for one, Wize another and kg.
Low I bow too still LOL
GLTY
Hey wolf,
Actually the Aussies say
'No wucking furries !'
Cos the're polite that way !
Holding the fort eh.
I think the board governed itself well for the last couple of days.
LOL
Clever stuff.
thks
From eqmx on other board.
This seems to answer the link question ERG.
Here an email response I received from Mr. Murphy just a few minutes ago:
"Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately, there's no link. It went out over the wires, and there are several online brokerage services that provide Dow Jones Newswires in addition to Bloomberg terminals and other Wall Street firms' proprietary systems, but our stories don't have a URL link, at least not as they publish on the wires. After that, it's sort of out of our hands. In any case, you or your company would have to be a subscriber somehow, in order to see it in any other way than an email or chatroom posting. For what it's worth, the reprints on the chatrooms seem to be my whole piece, with no additions, subtractions or alterations.
Best,
Max"
Chart,
Those Aroons needs to reverse.
Someone mentioned a similarity in the the commencement of the October rise.
There seem to be notable comparisons.
As Low said with PR's and articles either good or bad. TA becomes rather irrelevant. Emotion takes over.
(How in less than a week it is possible to have 2 diveresly opposite articles about the company ?)
MF may have been on firmer footing IF they had waited until after the end of the month !
Beware another more devastating one should there be no announcement of the funds by then.
Would like to see us peeking back over the 20 MA end of week (3.40).
We are nudging back over the 50 (3.20)
Theres a good chance of that IMO.
Who can afford to be out of the game at the moment.
Presumably shorts have covered their positions now.
Swinging a few when possible/sensible meantime.
GLTA
I like your fortitude (another word for balls !)
You'll win and beat them too !
Right,
But our faith is going to be tested once more tomorrow looks like.
Seems the Fool served its purpose well !
Look at the last 'elastic band' ,from 2 to 3 !
TA is about out the window with GTE at this point once more.
Mide - Low
An Epilogue ?
I saw you did that quite substantially twice today.
They have painted the TA though and the ADX doesn't look promising.
But as we have seen this is very PR/news driven and some is due.
Your our 'deep pockets' ! LOL
GLTY
Sorry to hear,
Must admit didn't expect this close.
Do you wrap your clubs clockwise ot anti clockwise ?
Gotta larf .......
Maybe MF was the catalyst but there are suprisingly powerful interests here.
We have seen it before and no doubt will again.
Must admit I am still learning to play this one.
Can you cover still?
They are fighting strong still though.
Serious decision/support @ 200 MA = 2.65.
Feeling better Holein ? !
I think you should be OK for a close over 3.00
The're thinking about it now !
It looking to bounce back IMO
Thats why I bought.
I think enough predictions have failed today.
band aids are being applied after the blood bath.
So not sure if anyone is brave enough.
They just cut through a swath of stops seemingly like butter and at will!
We have also lost the 50 MA support.
Having said that just I bought some more !!
GLTA
And keep looking at the BOD !
Doc,
Looking like your numbers may be adding up to a no float as you say.
Not on the SHO list.
Wish I could get to the buy ins short squeeze trigger.
Does anyone subscribe to Buy Ins ?
TA starting to look oversold to boot !
Very quite 440 sell @ 3.35
http://www.tradingday.com/is/gte.html
Relatively orderly day considering the fool !
Gave GTE the chance but this is what Seth was referring too pity he got the date wrong , nay years even.
I dont argue with a guy that has already broken several ballon records.
(Its all in the gasses and the membrane )
Still say GTE should get Per Lindstrand and Richard Branson 'on board' ASAP !
===============================================================
Sky Station
LBL's involvement with Sky Station goes back to early 1995 and was contracted as their sole platform supplier from November 1996 to June 1998.
In the early begginings of the co-operation Sky Station worked on a small-scale model of Dr. Wong's Corona Ion engine. The airship concept was an unworkable twin hull design linked with a large flat section. LBL immediately advised Sky Station that this was totally unworkable and suggested a conventional single hull driven by a propeller/electric motor. It was evident that the Corona Ion engine would never deliver the required thrust.
In November 1996 LBL signed a contract with Sky Station as their exclusive platform supplier and for the production of the initial batch of airship hulls. The first job within this contract was to build a test balloon with a super-pressure design intended to fly at 70,000ft, but Sky Station run out of money before the test was completed. This balloon is now in storage at LBL, Oswestry.
Due to Sky Station's lack of money LBL more or less ceased to work with Sky Station but the contract remained in force until June 1998 when it was cancelled by Sky Station.

Dear Mr Huff
Can I sell you an Airship ?
Yes,
Thats been quite a little industry in Europe for some time.
The cooking oil is re refined and resold.
(Here they complain and pay to have their drains unblooked !!)
(Wanna business here ?) he he
I have another friend who collects waste oil from garages and puts it through a cat cracker he built and re refines it here.
Before he bought it. Now they pay him to take it !
(Regulations and beurocracy dont make it easy !)
You can run a diesel on the stuff with very good pre filtering.
I will remember tomorrow where I came across the article and post. ((Hopefully if alzemiers doesn't completely take over !LOL)
Humm nice connection,
I remember reading recently that France Telecom were in trouble.
Seths bit about FTE being in the UK and Spain somewhat dubious. Both have 'privatised' national communications services.
(Anyway who wants a telephone which only understands French !)
France is a relatively large EU country and very rural. They have a large (to say the least)landline including optic fibre investment.
As you can see from this article they are threatened by VOIP.
Shares in France Telecom (FT) were on the slide today after the giant telco warned that it was unlikely to generate as much cash this year as it had predicted.
In a statement issued yesterday evening, FT blamed "accelerated technological changes, competitive pressure and the regulatory environment" for its decision to confirm that growth continues to slow.
Which means that, like other traditional telcos, FT is being hit by the growth in broadband telephony services (VoIP), increased competition from rivals and cuts in call termination rates imposed by regulators.
Last year, FT predicted that revenues would grow by around three to five per cent but has now downgraded that figure to between two to three per cent.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley have already crunched the numbers and reckon this lack of growth will cost the telco around €1bn in EBITDA (earnings before interest etc) revenue.
To combat the decline FT has announced it plans to accelerate plans to speed up its massive restructuring exercise announced last summer.
Key to this shake-up are ambitious plans to ditch its Wanadoo ISP brand and plug all its services (telco and interent) under the Orange logo to provide punters with a "whole new world of services in the areas of communication, infotainment and everyday life".
Execs claim that the company's New Experience in Telecom (NExT) initiative would "give customers access to a universe of services that are both high value and simple".
"France Telecom has decided to accelerate its transformation, notably rolling out programs to simplify its brand portfolio as of 2006, setting up an integrated network and customer relations structure in each country," said the telco in a statement.
By lunch shares in FT were down 8.5 per cent (€1.84) at €19.83 on the Paris stock exchange ®
(Orange is UK Henderson Telecom !!)
Still think there is someone else in the applecart though.
QT,
Did I get this from here and you ?
But something about extracting Detrium? from seawater ??
Sounds like the Zeta project in the 60's in England which ended up costing the taxpayer a fortune and didn't fly.
Someone going for something similar again ?
I have tried to research the owners of MF without luck so far.
Seth is a man/boy on a mission.
Why else give so much attention to GTE?
Something about criticism and flattery !
I can speculate who he is on a mission for too !
(Wanna real job in journalism Seth ? How about Editor of the NY Post!!LOL)
Could provide us with a good buying op though LOL!
I think we may get an announcment sooner than later now !
(Maybe someone else too !)
I think we may get an announcment sooner than later now !
All you have to think about is whose on the Board ........
Hi QT<
Yes I have been studying your board stocks. With the way things are going and all the freinds we dont seem to be making in the oil world ! LOL
We had better get serious about the alternatives and quickly.
It always both annoys and amazes me that elsewhere a 1.9 litre turbo diesel car can do well over the US speed limit. Yet here a 5 litre car and 1000cc plonker Harley can only do 85mph !
The result is Ford and GM in big trouble here.
Well who would have thought Duhhh .
I have a freind whos retired now, but he had a load of Ethanol Stations in the 60's and 70's. What happened to corn producing States making Ethanol? And why shut down the stations ?
Seems like it's an early starter maybe this year. with a bit of a rest this January It has carried through Feb as you say.
We should have some positive guidance if all goes to plan.
Hows it going ERG ?
GLTY
Yes not looking too bad.
ADX turning up
Where did a million odd shares go half way through the day BTW ?
Did we have the Jan Seasonal early or yet to come ?
I think its late.
Rather unusual to have an office in the Bank of England as is setting up recovery systems in the UK.
England is pretty well covered for recycling and methane extraction from sewage plants and garbage tips I thought.
One thing thats always been a problem there is the terrible weather LOL.
You need a nice warm climate to get the most from extraction systems I always thought.
So not sure at all about the PR.
GLTY too.
Humm new office at One Threadneedle Street ?
Believe thats the Bank of Englands address !
Hi QT BTW
Wize & QT that was great to read those posts between you both.
I am relieved two such helpful and knowledgable practioners have resolved minor differences.
You could have done this by PM but you did it publicly which makes it doubly laudable .
Wize I jumped the gun midweek on your Cramer contest.
Did you evaluate the final Friday -end of the contest ?
Genuine interest here
GL to both of you .
GM to you Wize,
Interesting 'screen painting' on GTE after hours apparently!
Have you seen this kind of thing happen before ?
I wonder if it has created a false gap ?
This is the part I was referring too that I thought would most interest the market.
In closing, Huff added, "Sanswire Networks will float Sanswire II, the technology Demonstrator in February. Sanswire II has been equipped with the latest technology and our plans are to break the world high altitude record for rigid airships as we put the airship through its paces in 90 days of testing.
The rest was not particularly new news or revealing.
With the Russian contract they have already gone from an R & D
Co IMO
Yes I beleive so too.
I dont think anyone can afford to be out of this for the next two weeks or so.
Hopefully some positive financial guidance soon and the promise of a Strat launch in Feb. and the expected downpayment to boot this month.
I seem to recollect that the short position is to be covered by Friday. Not to say it won't roll over. But a bit risky for them at this stage.
Glad you got back in.
Must admit I was going to sell 25% today but the market had gone down too far before I could.
Amazing how Intel missing their target by a cent caused so much havoc.
The Nikkei is going to have a bad week or even year I fear.
That was a good call this morning Wize,
Bet you didn't think it would be that much !!LOL
I think this is the interesting part tucked in at the bottom. The rest was a repeat
In closing, Huff added, "Sanswire Networks will float Sanswire II, the technology Demonstrator in February. Sanswire II has been equipped with the latest technology and our plans are to break the world high altitude record for rigid airships as we put the airship through its paces in 90 days of testing. Flight schedules over Edwards Air Force Base will be provided after Edward's Test Range approves Sanswire II for flight. This is dependent on approvals from the Range on safety procedures, timeslots on the Range and weather conditions suitable for flight tests. In summary, GlobeTel is moving ahead on all fronts and 2006 is the year that we transition from a R&D company to a sales and marketing company. This is our year to show what we can do."
This is the real promise on the news IMO

Happy Birthday y'all !
You guys put a lot of time in here for us
Thanks
Excellent Wize,
I think you proved your point very well.
And to think so many hang on his rantings !
And who would dare go against his solid expertise.
You did ! Kudos to you.
Great Wize looking forward to it should be interesting either way.
But my bets are on you LOL
Hi Wize,
Hows your Cramer contest going BTW ?
Your board philosophy is helping simplify things for me.
Thanks
